Attorney Estate Planning Software to Help You Protect Your Clients’ Legacy
Enter client information once, automate it everywhere

While this activity is important, it’s also time consuming—or was, before Smokeball. With Smokeball estate planning practice management software, adding or updating a contact only takes one step. Simply enter any new information, select the estate planning documents you’d like to update, and save the new version(s). If you need to go back to past versions of estate planning documents, we’ll always keep track of your change history, ensuring full visibility into the matter.
Smokeball will also update pronouns and pluralize estate planning document verbiage for complete accuracy.
